Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
The proseminar focuses on contemporary practices of revisionist mythmaking in both narrative and poetry. We will read Arundhati Roy's novel The God of Small Things (1997) as a postcolonial rewriting of the European bildungsroman and Carol Ann Duffy's poetry collection The World's Wife (1999) as a feminist answer to the oppression of the female voice in lyric poetry. We will discuss the concept of myth, the contemporary practice of revisionist mythmaking, as well as feminist and postcolonial practices of 'writing back.' In order to do so we will also look at the historical beginnings of both lyric poetry in English and the European bildungsroman. Theorists included in the discussion are Alicia Ostriker, Franco Moretti, Bill Ashcroft and Helen Tiffin as well as theoretical discussions of the phenomenon 'myth.' Students can begin to prepare by reading both the novel and the poems. They will then be responsible for presenting a theoretical text from the selection in class.
